NFL Mock Draft 2015: Complete First Round Projection And Outlook

Following the conclusion of the Super Bowl, NFL teams are already preparing for the 2015 season. Free agency doesn’t begin until March 10, but organizations will soon be evaluating potential draft picks, with the NFL Scouting Combine set to begin on Feb. 17.

A few players stand out as potential top selections in the 2015 NFL Draft, specifically the top two quarterbacks. Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota are expected to be taken in the early part of the first round, and there’s a chance they could be gone with the first two picks. There are questions that surround both quarterbacks, however, since Winston’s 2014 numbers paled in comparison to the statistics he put up the previous year, and some believe Mariota thrived because of Oregon’s offensive system.

Other than the two signal callers, defensive players could dominate the early part of the draft. Nebraska’s Randy Gregory and USC’s Leonard Williams are projected top-five picks, while players like Shane Ray, Dante Fowler and Vic Beasley could be off the board near the top of the first round.
